Dear Wilma and Bill:

Me and Ray sure have about lived like sailors, lately that is the reason I haven’t written for a long time.

I guess it will be longer too far. I won’t get a chance to mail this for a while.

I wrote a short letter to Mom and Aline today too. There isn’t much we can write though.

I have felt ok so far on the trip but it is getting awfully hot.

We made one stop so far but I didn’t get a chance to get my fee on any good earth.

I don’t know a thing to write now but will try again as so as we reach our destination.

Write often and tell Athul of Mary. I will write them at my first opportunity.

Love Elmer
